Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies an existing VMware replication job.

Note

Consider the following:

The cmdlet will not run if the geographic location of the VMs added to the job and the job target repository location do not match. If you still want to run the cmdlet, use the Force parameter.
To modify settings, specify new values for the necessary parameters, After you run this cmdlet, the previous settings will be rewritten with new values. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged.
